This event is called “A Day with Older Adults,” and various entities will be sharing what sorts of services and supports they provide to the senior population in the Baltimore area. Sharon Maneki will be representing NFBMD, but we want to make sure we bring to the event along with Sharon a group of blind people who are living the lives they want. Some elected officials and those running for office will also be at this event, including Ivan Bates, Ben Cardin, Brooke Lierman, and Wes Moore. There will also be a discussion of the ballot questions in anticipation of the upcoming election.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you would like to attend this event, please let me know by Tuesday, October 25, 2022 by emailing me at <a href="mailto:President@nfbmd.org">President@nfbmd.org</a> or calling or texting 443-426-4110.
